GRANT WINNERS
Imperial College, UK
This will be a platform observational hybrid decentralised study, recruiting patients with high-grade gliomas (including GBM) who are undergoing treatment. Fitrockr/Garmin will be used to pilot both the use of skin temperature sensing and BBI.
University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA
The goal of this project is to systematically test the feasibility, acceptability, and concordance of using the Garmin wearable and the Fitrockr data management platform to passively detect caregiver stress.
University Children’s Hospital Regensburg (KUNO), Germany
The primary objectives of this longitudinal observational study are (1) to analyze stress and recovery measures during NICU stay, (2) to assess how early physiological stress indicators predict PPD and breastfeeding outcomes until 4 months, and (3) to identify maternal, perinatal, neonatal and socioeconomic predictors of acute and chronic stress.
Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia
Study objectives are (1) to assess the cognitive status, stress levels, anthropometric parameters (body composition), muscle health, and lifestyle factors (such as sleep quality, physical activity, and dietary intake) among adults in Malaysia and (2) to investigate the impact of stress, anthropometric parameters (body composition), lifestyle factors, and muscle health on cognitive function, identifying potential modifiable risk factors for cognitive impairment in Malaysian adults.
University of Geneva, Switzerland
MOTHERCare study aims to support working mothers with migraines by helping them to better understand and manage their migraine episodes, ultimately improving their quality of life. The study will focus on Garmin’s Enhanced BBI, Stress and Body Battery metrics as crucial endpoints for overcharge, energy levels and recovery and providing insights into how stress accumulation and insufficient recovery impact migraine outcomes.
The University of Nottingham in collaboration with DMRC Stanford Hall, UK
This study aims to investigate the correlation of the Garmin/Fitrockr ‘Stress’ and ‘Body Battery’ biomarkers and manually collected physiological and lifestyle determinants to monitor overall load in an inpatient complex trauma rehabilitation population undergoing residential rehabilitation.
